The situation started around 5:30 p.m. Albuquerque police said a tipster called, saying that the man was pointing a firearm at people as he passed them. They said he got onto a city bus near Central Avenue and Sierra and rode it to UNM.

An officer spotted the man with the gun, but when police tried to approach him, he ran into the campus, police said, triggering the shelter in place order. Authorities searched for about 30 minutes but didn't find him.
